"After we landed on the island, we didn't encounter any large animals, so what was making those strange roars we heard in the legends?" Miao Yu also asked Dr. Deng.
"Maybe the animals were taking shelter from the rain too," Chu Yuan said. "That rain was like hail, any animal with a bit of sense wouldn't come out in it."
"That could be one reason," Dr. Deng said with a smile, "but it's also possible that because we were in the middle of it, we failed to notice these marvels."
"Some things that seem mysterious from afar turn out to be quite ordinary when you look closer, with no high-tech content."
Dr. Deng, adopting the posture of a scholar, then explained to them some of these naturally occurring phenomena and pointed out which plants were particularly valuable or had unusual functions.
Xu Huo wasn't interested in anything else but was very intrigued by a certain red flower, "This flower looks familiar; I think I've seen it somewhere before."
